Hi, all. I set a broker’s log directory to ‘/tmp/kafka-logs-1’, and found that there are 00000000000000000000.index, 00000000000000000000.log in the directory ‘/tmp/kafka-logs-1/test-0/’.
Whenever the broker receives some messages, that messages are appended in the file “00000000000000000000.log”, however, 00000000000000000000.index file seems to have no-changes at all… is that correct? What’s the cases that ‘*.index’ file get changed, or accessed? Could I let the brokers run without any ‘*.index’ files?
